Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi said on Friday that her country must have peace in order to have sustainable development.
“We are still not at peace, there is still armed conflict between various armed groups in our country,” the Nobel Peace Prize winner told Japanese business leaders. “We must have peace in order that our development may be stable and sustainable.”
Suu Kyi is in Japan on a five-day visit to court investment and aid, as an upsurge in violence against a persecuted Muslim minority at home poses the worst crisis of her six months in power.
